Running to stand still

A work of enduring love and self-reflection, this autobiography follows a troubled Irishman and his lifelong battle with inner demons. After a life of violence—including a warring family in his youth, enrollment in the Irish Republican Army, stints in prison, and spousal abuse—the author is finally forced to recognize these patterns of aggression and reevaluate his life. Aided by his loyal and loving wife, the author tells the story of his recovery and redemption through the discovery of the roots of his violence and provocation.
